In June 2019, acting teacher Li Yadi flew to San Francisco for a special task. He had to train an actress who never before appear in front of the camera. However, the actress, Bai Lang was planned to play a leading role in volleyball-themed movie, Leap(《夺冠》).
The role Bai was set to act was Lang Ping, her biological mother, a famous name in China. She was one of the greatest volleyball players of all time. She won a gold medal for the country as a player at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and then again as a coach at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
Director Chan told Li that he couldn't even think of another person to play the young Lang Ping in the movie. "She looks like her mother and for most people accept her as Lang Ping," said Chan. In the movie we can also see a wonderful performance by well-known actress Gong Li, who played the role of the adult Lang Ping.
Li believes that it was a good decision to have Bai and other players from the Chinese women's team to play in the movie. "They may have no acting experience but they've been through all the training and hardship necessary to achieve success. That experience is beyond a professional actress."
